Single Mom’s Mother’s Day Treat

I’m not a single Mom, probably never will be, but Nancy has a friend that is and she has a young daughter. For the past few years, Nancy has called and made arrangements to pick up the daughter and take her Mother’s Day shopping.

Her mom knows about it, provides the money, etc. etc.

Nancy just totes her to the store, steers her away from the Hello Kitty stuff, gets it gift-wrapped, remembers the card and she makes a single mom’s Mother’s Day special for both.

I think Nancy likes it too.

Fix Me Turkey Pot Pie!

From the Breakfast Club – John Bender: Stupid, worthless, no good, goddamn, freeloading son of a bitch. Retarded, big mouth, know-it-all, asshole, jerk. (You forgot ugly, lazy and disrespectful.)

Shut up bitch. Go fix me a turkey pot pie.

Yeah, that’s what I should have said.

Let’s review:

Saturday:  we had a little feud, and I’m pretty sure I had a milkshake for dinner.

Sunday: we were at a wedding and ate their food.

Monday: She fixed something, but neither one of us can remember what. :)

Tuesday: Cinco de Mayo at Garcia’s

So, what do I want for dinner tonight? Fix me turkey pot pie… please?

Today Begins Big Ass TeeVee Installation – Be Back Tuesday

Today I am starting down the path to crossing another milestone in my life. Is that mixing metaphors? meh.

By sometime next Tuesday I will be fully involved with a full blown media center:

  • Big Ass TeeVee (BATV) – 52 inch Sony with high definition
  • Dell computer with sooper-dooper video card dedicated to serving the BATV.
  • Surround sound
  • Infrared Repeater so my wireless keyboard, mouse and remote can shoot a signal around the corner
  • DirectTV (changing from Dish Network because they are groks and I got a sweet deal from DirectTV)
  • Cable – not new but configged differently to serve BATV
  • Tivo – not new (see above)

St. Todd deCubville is doing the installation.

It all starts tomorrow and I will be sneaking away to Twitter our progress @goinglikesixty. I am the designated beer hauler, that will give me enough time to tweet his activity and keep a beer count.

I think I have the blog set up to compile my tweets and make a post. OTOH, the whole thing could blow up like a Rodenator and bring down the entire neighborhood.

So today:

  • mow the yard (it’s nineteen inches high and can’t wait until next week)
  • get my haircut (it’s nineteen inches long and Nancy is driving me nuts)
  • get Miller Lite Beer in bottles
  • get ice
  • go to airport to pick up St. Todd deCubville and Amy
  • inventory

I hope this isn’t the end of a fine blog.

I do appreciate you readers so much.

But when I sit my Big Ass down in front of that Big Ass TeeVee and see Rachel Ray in HiDef, that may be nirvana.
